Broadly tunable femtosecond pulse generation in the near and mid-infrared.
High-repetition-rate (80-MHz) femtosecond infrared pulses are generated by difference frequency mixing (DFM) a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser with a phase-locked synchronized cw mode-locked Nd:YAG picosecond laser. This DFM scheme is of particular interest for generating ultrashort near-IR pulses (~10 fs) because group velocity mismatch with a pump pulse can be ignored. The simplicity and the br...
متن کاملGeneration and characterization of tunable mid-infrared femtosecond pulses
In this Chapter we describe the design of an optical parametric amplifier that allows the generation of infrared laser pulses suitable for ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy on the OH-stretching mode of water molecules. Mid-infrared femtosecond pulses, tunable in the range of 2800-3800 cm with sub-100 fs duration and ~15 μJ energy are produced by an optical parametric amplifier driven at 1 kHz by...
متن کاملBroadly tunable terahertz generation in mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers.
Room temperature, broadly tunable, electrically pumped semiconductor sources in the terahertz spectral range, similar in operation simplicity to diode lasers, are highly desired for applications. An emerging technology in this area are sources based on intracavity difference-frequency generation in dual-wavelength mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers. Here we report terahertz quantum cascade las...
متن کاملTwo-color fiber amplifier for short-pulse, mid-infrared generation.
A short-pulse, two-color Yb:fiber laser system has been developed for mid-infrared generation. To date, 20 microW of average power at a wavelength of approximately 18 microm is generated by difference-frequency mixing 300 mW average power from the two-color Yb:fiber amplifier. The mid-infrared power was not limited by two-photon absorption, allowing it to be scaled by increasing the amplifier p...
متن کاملMid-Infrared Tunable Resonant Cavity Enhanced Detectors
Mid-infrared detectors that are sensitive only in a tunable narrow spectral band are presented. They are based on the Resonant Cavity Enhanced Detector (RCED) principle and employing a thin active region using IV-VI narrow gap semiconductor layers. A Fabry-Pérot cavity is formed by two mirrors. The active layer is grown onto one mirror, while the second mirror can be displaced. This changes the...
